I can barely scroll a few pages down on Facebook before my X201 starts getting sub-1FPS. This infinite scrolling crap is never done right.

- terminalcommand 10y agoAnother fellow x201 user here. The bottleneck of our computers are definitely the CPU. After putting an SSD it felt fast for a while. But now especially whilst browsing I get irritated a lot. I can't decide whether if it's pure psychology or a need for more performance. I am an avid Debian user for many years, lastly I used FreeBSD for a couple of months on the x201. Now, I'm using ElementaryOS. With Debian iwlwifi was a problem, did not work reliably. FreeBSD was a lot of hassle to work with -with no network manager being present etc.-, but driver support was excellent. ElementaryOS is currently working like a charm. Another tip besides installing an SSD is to enable multicore support in Firefox.

- Quenz 10y ago> enable multicore support in Firefox Why isn't this enabled by default on detection of multiple cores?
- brianwawok 10y agoFF has never been multicore. So many plugins are not thread safe. I think they are slowly rolling out multicore as plugins fix.

- digi_owl 10y agoThe best thing i did for staying sane while browsing was to install noscript on firefox. Not sure how it will work now that Mozilla is "reworking (gutting?) Firefox extensions to make room for pr tab processes.
